[otlkcon-devel] OpenConnector Project Status
Hello, Development should be back in full swing for the release of a stable build of the OpenConnector project. I am hoping for a September release of the 0.5 stable version, but there is still a lot to be done. Some project areas that need attention include testcase development, libical integration and extensions, MAPI Table rewrite, and GUI development. Consider helping with the development if you have some time and C++ experience.

Hello Michael, --- Michael Sheldon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I took a little look at this but wasn't able to > make much progress. I've added the #OLKCON_USE_MIMEDIR macro to otlkcon_config.h . If set to 1 the MIMEDIR methods should be used otherwise the ICalExport() and ICalImport() methods are used. The default is 0, so this should break things for now. The task is really to complete ICalImport() and ICalExport() methods in O_IMessage class. ICalExport() walks through the IMessage object's properties and converts the ones it can to iCalendar formatted strings. ICalImport() converts the iCalendar formatted strings to MAPI properties. For your testing, I guess you can set the macro to 1 to continue with MIMEDIR. > Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

I'm working on getting my testing environment back up, so I'll take a look at it then.

[otlkcon-devel] ICalStreamToMessage()

I took a little look at this but wasn't able to make much progress. I've since temporarily switched to using Outlook 2003 so I can focus on getting the Kolab driver working. On that note, I'm having trouble with the MIMEDIR based iCal importing, the ICalStreamToMessage() call returns E_FAIL when asked to process the following iCal string: BEGIN:VEVENT UID:ae777838ea40ec854531819c2cb5f509 SUMMARY:test19 from horde DTSTART:20070626T10Z DUE:20070626T10Z DTEND:20070626T11Z CREATED:20070626T114112Z LAST-MODIFIED:20070626T114112Z DESCRIPTION:test19 from horde END:VEVENT Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
